Central Heater

The mod adds seven types of stove that smelt items faster than the vanilla furnace and consume fuel as they work. Campfires also burn fuel in this mod. Hoppers and minecarts can feed and empty the stoves, so the stoves can be part of an automated line. Unlike vanilla smelting, a stove can take in a larger amount of items at the same time, which lets players process a big batch without building several machines.

A nether tier of stoves is driven by soul flames. Players place soul-related items in the fuel slot to make soul fire, and the stoves use it to smelt items at a higher temperature than normal fire allows. Fire ashes and scorched dust are produced when fuels burn, and a complex procedure turns them into scorched coal, which suits soul flame stoves. The mod also contains a unique seething recipe that turns items in a nether stove with soul flames. Total content is 111 items and about 60 blocks.

Central Heater runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge and NeoForge on 14 release versions, 1.20 – 1.21.11, and is released under the MIT License as open source. Recipe viewers are supported, with extra information shown for items and recipes through Enough Items. No other catalog mod is required.
